I have a "clunking" sound from the front end of my '99 996 with 52K miles on braking. This nly occurs after I have backed the car and braked. When I go forward and brake I hear the clunk. It only happens the first time I brake then dissapears.

I think it is a loose anti-roll bar. When I put the car on my home lift the bar has a bit of play (enough to make a slight rattling sound but not that loose). Is this normal. The bolts are tight but the bushing connecting the anti-roll bar to the slender vertical control arm seems worn.

Any thoughts? Is this a problem or a minor annoyance?
